Nudi Pixel: Nudibranchs and Sea Slugs Identification with Photographs

Chromodoris tennentana

(Kelaart, 1859)

Also known as: Chromodoris vicina

Photographed by: Anouk Houben

According to Dr. Richard Willan: I have spent more than an hour today looking at all the photos labelled Chromodoris tennentana and Chromodoris cavae on Nudi Pixel at your request. I have decided they all belong to one very variable species. The supposed differences between them suggested by Bill Rudman on his Sea Slug Forum cannot be substantiated when many specimens are studied from many different localities across the Indian Ocean. Consequently put them all under Chromodoris tennentana on Nudi Pixel with a note that Chromodoris cavae and Chromodoris vicina are both synonyms.
